Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0363001A2] A sensor is provided for connection with a use circuit via two conductors. The sensor receives its electrical power from the use circuit via the two conductors and similarly provides its output signal indicative of the sensed phenomenon via the same conductors. An unregulated source potential is provided to a terminal of the sensor from a supply potential via the use circuit. Voltage regulating circuitry in the sensor converts the unregulated source potential to a regulated operating potential for its active circuit elements. Certain output circuitry in the sensor is connected to the terminal having the unregulated source potential for conveying an output signal from the sensor to the use circuit.
